The broadcast set: journalists at profile size, two regional voices — and a tested negative for the national booth

THE SET AT ITS TRUE SIZE

Kevin Gosztola (1988– ), the journalist who stands: The one national journalist the record gives Mishawaka stands in the banked People file at full profile, and his profile is the set's anchor: born 10 March 1988 in Mishawaka, Columbia College Chicago film degree 2010; the only assigned journalist to cover the entire Chelsea Manning court-martial, from the 2011 pre-trial hearings through the sentencing; co-author of Truth and Consequences: The US vs. Bradley Manning; managing editor of Shadowproof from 2015 to its end in December 2023; author of Guilty of Journalism (Skyhorse, March 2023). His frame is print and podcast journalism at national reach, not the broadcast booth, and the profile prints him so.

Ruth McKenney (1911–1972), at line size by cross-carry: Profiled in the banked file as a literary name, McKenney's journalism belongs to this set at its true size: the Akron Beacon Journal at sixteen, the New York Post, New Masses, and the New Yorker stories that became My Sister Eileen — a national print journalist born in Mishawaka whose family left for East Cleveland in 1919, her tie printed exactly as the file carries it.

Bob Nagle, the regional voice at profile size: The sportscaster the record does give the city is a regional one, and he prints at regional size whole. Robert "Bob" Nagle, Mishawaka Marian High School class of 1972 and Indiana University South Bend, was inducted into the Indiana Football Hall of Fame on 21 May 2010 at South Bend as a Merit Contributor — Sportscaster: over thirty years of radio and television coverage of high school and college sports; Sports Director at the WSBT stations; Sports Marketing Director at LeSEA Broadcasting and WHME-TV; the voice of Notre Dame women's basketball and a worker with Notre Dame baseball; broadcaster of the 1983 Penn against Indianapolis Washington state championship game; a broadcaster of the State Finals for the IHSAA Network from 1997 to 2005; IHSAA Region Broadcaster of the Year in 2003; and the All-American Football Foundation's "Lindsey Nelson" Broadcaster of the Year in 2007. A hall-of-fame summary of his induction adds that he was born 15 July 1954 in Mishawaka; the birth detail is carried at that summary's weight, the career at the hall's own page's.

Paul R. Condry, the network founder, a resident's tie stated exactly: Paul Condry is not Mishawaka-born and is not claimed so: a Hobart native, Hobart High School class of 1974, he lives in Mishawaka — "I live in Mishawaka, Indiana. I am the founder/owner of the Regional Radio Sports Network and the Indiana Football Digest," in his own words in the Hobart alumni newsletter of May 2015. He began sportscasting in 1988 at WWJY in Crown Point and founded the Regional Radio Sports Network in 1992, headquartered in Mishawaka — the Indiana high-school sports network built from this city. He was named Indiana Sportscaster of the Year by the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association in 2002, 2005, 2008 and 2010; was the first sportscaster from northwest Indiana inducted into the Indiana Sportswriters and Sportscasters Hall of Fame (2010); entered the Indiana Football Hall of Fame with the 2020 class; and served twenty-five years on the Indianapolis Colts' staff assisting with the NFL Coach of the Week awards. His RRSN colleague Mike Knezevich, likewise an Indiana Sportscaster of the Year and an ISSA Hall of Famer (2012), stands at line size beside him.

The tested negative — no national network broadcaster or sportscaster: The pattern this set was dug to test — a national network broadcaster, sportscaster or news anchor born in or tied to Mishawaka — returns empty, and the negative prints as a finding. The searches run, named: "Mishawaka Indiana born broadcaster sportscaster journalist national"; "famous people born Mishawaka Indiana list broadcaster"; "\"Mishawaka\" \"sportscaster\" OR \"broadcaster\" ESPN NBC CBS ABC national"; "\"born in Mishawaka\" journalist reporter television news anchor"; and the born-here lists and Indiana-people compilations those searches returned, read name by name. No name with a Mishawaka tie stood up in any of them. The national broadcast names Indiana does produce are other cities', and they are boundary-printed to their own ground so the negative cannot be read as an oversight: Chris Schenkel, born at Bippus in 1923; Brian Lamb, born at Lafayette in 1941; Steve Kroft, born at Kokomo in 1945; Kate Bolduan, of Goshen. Mishawaka's broadcast fame, at its true size, is a national print journalist, a regional hall-of-fame voice, and a regional network founded and headquartered here — and no national booth name. The settling sources that could overturn the negative are named: the national sportscaster and sportswriter association rosters and the network biographical compilations, checked against the city's birth and school records.
